More than 1.5 million people have experienced Goodman Theatre's family-favorite, A Christmas Carol, "one of Chicago's treasured Christmas traditions" (Theatermania), now returning for the 41st year. Under Artistic Associate Henry Wishcamper's direction for the sixth year, the annual production "remains the greatest seasonal story of all" (Chicago Tribune) and features Chicago actor Larry Yando, who leads the 26-member cast as the irascible businessman Ebenezer Scrooge. Joining Yando is Paris Strickland, who reprises her role as Tiny Tim for the second year. One Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by four ghosts who take him on a spectacular adventure through his past, present and future, helping him rediscover the joys of life, love and friendship.
This year, the Goodman offers its first-ever Spanish-translated performance (December 28 at 8pm) and a Sensory-Friendly performance in partnership with Autism Speaks-Chicago (December 29 at 2pm).
